2024 Wedding Trend Predictions: Receiving over 19 million TikTok hashtag views, purple is an emerging colour trend for the year ahead, particularly as we move into Spring 2024 with vibrant, violent tones as opposed to more traditional, soft lilac options. We expect to see the adoption of more rainbow (9 million views) elements as couples look to inject a playful and adventurous element into their big day. Following the announcement of Pantone's colour of the year, we may see peach (1 million views) themes join orange as the most popular accent colour of the new year. Y2K trends made a huge fashion comeback in 2023, from low-rise jeans to trucker hats, and the same goes for weddings, with brides drawing inspiration from bygone eras to infuse nostalgia into their weddings. Whilst the 90s bridal aesthetic will continue to grow in popularity in 2023, we expect to see more 70s and 80s inspiration with more retro glamour and bohemian chic wedding and wedding guest style. In 2024, we expect wedding accessories to take centre stage. Although finding the perfect wedding dress or outfit is a big part of the nuptials, with accents like wedding gloves, wedding bows and wedding sunglasses receiving a combined 19 million views, accessories are likely to play as big a part in deciding the perfect wedding outfit as the dress in 2024.

Toi-et-moi rings have risen in popularity towards the end of 2023, and we expect it will be one of the biggest engagement ring styles of 2024. Toi-et-moi translates to "you and me" and is one of the most historic ring-setting styles featuring two gemstones positioned side by side to symbolise the meeting of two lovers. Predicting ceremony elements, one big trend we expect to surge in 2024 is more dry and sober weddings, with a combined 8 million views representing the shift in drinking culture. Couples are also redefining traditional ceremony elements, opting for welcome parties to set the tone for the big day and many opting to scrap classic aspects of the day like the cutting of the cake and the bouquet flower toss. We also expect to see a rise in registry weddings (2.5 million views) in line with the 2023 trend of smaller micro weddings.

Brits are swapping the 'big day' for the 'right day' as searches for intimate wedding venues soar

Couples are increasingly choosing quality time over large guest lists, with new search data revealing a growing demand for intimate weddings and stylish registry office ceremonies. According to Google search data analysed by Suit Direct, searches for "small intimate wedding venues near me" have increased by 86% year-on-year, while interest in "micro wedding packages" has risen 23% over the past three months, suggesting more couples are opting for meaningful celebrations that prioritise the experience over extravagance. For many, the legal ceremony is no longer just the paperwork before the "real" wedding. Instead, couples are dressing for the occasion, hiring photographers and celebrating afterwards with an intimate meal or party, proving you don't need a 200-person guest list to make the day feel special.

Expert at Cake Box, shares 2026 wedding trends

Expert at Cake Box, shares 2026 wedding trends

Weddings may be rooted in tradition, but 2026 is seeing couples put their own spin on the big day. From reimagined wedding cakes to more personal, less conventional celebrations, today's couples are increasingly choosing what feels meaningful to them rather than simply following the rules. To explore how wedding traditions are evolving, Okay Rahman, Head of Product and in-house cake expert at Cake Box, shares their insight into the biggest wedding trends of 2026 — and how couples are putting a fresh, modern twist on some of the most-loved elements of the day. He said... "We're seeing that wedding cakes are becoming much more personal in 2026. The traditional tiered cake certainly hasn't disappeared, but couples are feeling less tied to the idea that a wedding cake has to look or taste a certain way. These days, it's being treated as another part of the styling of the day, so the design reflects the couple, the venue and the overall feel of the wedding.

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

For many couples, talking about money can feel far less romantic than talking about the wedding itself. But as more Brits prepare to tie the knot — and with stronger legal rights on the horizon for unmarried couples — new research suggests we may be leaving some important financial conversations until it's too late. From avoiding money talk on first dates to steering clear of prenups, the findings reveal a nation surprisingly reluctant to discuss how to protect their finances, even when differences over money are already putting relationships under strain. Two thirds of Brits (66%) say they would not get a prenuptial agreement before marriage (48%) or have already opted against one (17%) - compared to 42% in both France and Spain. New findings from Europe's second largest neobank, bunq, reveal that Brits are markedly more resistant to prenuptial agreements than their continental neighbours – despite Britain's reputation as the less romantic nation.
